seems to have a little updated interior, I think they need to stretch the car about 4 more inches from more rear legroom. They need to set the Model X apart from the others. Perhaps a new way to get in the deeper frunk, seems hard to put shopping bags in compared to the Model S. Like that they ditched the camera mirrors. I like the new dash.

I actually am disappointed in the new interior. I was hoping the screen sticking out like a sore thumb was simply an alpha design oversight but they seem to have made the problem worse in this model X. I much prefer the way the screen blends into the lines of the dashboard as it does in the Model S. In the current Model X, the touch screen looks like an awkward afterthought rather than the elegant interface in the soul of the car.

As for the length of the car, I think the car is already plenty long (I'm already going to have a tight squeeze in my Boston garage).

It's not a surprise they had to back to traditional mirrors--the laws on car design haven't caught up to technology yet.

Well Model X is the same chassis as Model S I believe. So might be difficult to add more length to it...

They have stretched the wheelbase a bit. The position of the axles wrt the battery isn't "fixed" by its design.

I like the new look. Why do we need wood in cars? Seems like a history lesson. Go Tesla, I'm keeping my deposit/reservation for X.

Wood, when treated correctly, is just beautiful. Nothing historic there, just aesthetic.

These pictures are much better then what I have seen so far from other web sites reporting from Detroit. In my opinion it also shows a much more usable 3rd row. Looks like the car they had on display is a Signature model X ( with the red leather strip around the seats).
